11 results about "Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation" patented technology

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS) is the use of electric current produced by a device to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes. TENS, by definition, covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation although the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, namely to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable stimulators used to treat pain. The unit is usually connected to the skin using two or more electrodes which are typically conductive gel pads. A typical battery-operated TENS unit is able to modulate pulse width, frequency and intensity. Generally TENS is applied at high frequency (>50 Hz) with an intensity below motor contraction (sensory intensity) or low frequency (<10 Hz) with an intensity that produces motor contraction. While the use of TENS has proved effective in clinical studies, there is controversy over which conditions the device should be used to treat.

Various aspects of this disclosure relate to a prosthetic cover comprising an array of sensors, which transmit signals to an array of electrodes in a liner that fits over a residual limb of an amputee. Different interactions with the prosthetic cover cause different activation of the electrodes to transmit electrical current through different areas of the residual limb and modulate neurons differently within the residual limb. Various aspects of this disclosure also relate to a prosthetic liner with a substrate that includes electrodes for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and / or electronic muscle stimulation for a residual limb.

A TENS and iontophoresis combined closed loop analgesic patch

PendingCN122251776AOvercome technology biasAchieve compound analgesiaMedical devicesSensorsSensor arrayTranscutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
The application discloses a TENS and iontophoresis composite closed-loop analgesic patch, and belongs to the field of medical devices. The patch comprises a flexible substrate, a multi-modal sensor array, a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation unit, an iontophoresis drug delivery unit, a control module and a multi-level safety control unit. The sensor array collects surface electromyography signals and cutaneous electric response signals, and the control module calculates a pain probability value and executes a hierarchical control strategy: standby when the pain probability value is below a first threshold value, only activate the TENS unit when the pain probability value reaches or exceeds the first threshold value but is below a second threshold value, and simultaneously activate the TENS unit and the iontophoresis drug delivery unit after dose safety confirmation when the pain probability value reaches or exceeds the second threshold value. The multi-level safety control unit comprises a dose counter and a sensor detachment detection module, which are used for preventing drug overdose and accidental triggering. The application combines physical analgesia and chemical analgesia, realizes double analgesic effects of "instant + continuous", and guarantees the safety of home use through a multi-level safety mechanism.
